ok you need to replace the defrost thermostat, this is clipped to the top of the coils, you can test if its the problem by unplugging the refrigerator and cutting the two wires going to it, (far enough back so you can reconnect it if its not the issue,) leave yourself enough wire, strip the wires and connect them together, if the fan runs when you plug it back in and turn it on, replace the thermostat.
